Camila Mendes has some of the best hair on TV so it might be surprising to hear that she didn't like her hair during season one of Riverdale.

Camila opened up to People about her hairstyle in the show's first season and why she asked to have it changed.

"It’s funny because season one her hairstyle was always side-parted. I didn’t really like my hair season one… I didn’t like having short hair," she said. "It took us a long time to figure out what to do with it. And then season two I convinced them to let me grow it out and do a middle part."

She also opened up about how hard it was to maintain her hair on her off days because of how easily it can curl and frizz up.

"It was really complicated on my off days. I just… I didn’t feel beautiful. I really felt insecure about it. I told them, like, ‘for my sanity can I please grow out my hair? We can still make this Veronica,’" she told People. "So they let me have long hair and have my middle part, which I just think frames my hair better."

Camila also opened up about Veronica's signature hairstyle and how unlikely it is that she'll have a ponytail on the show again.

We saw her in a ponytail in one episode, when she was in the hot tub, and that felt weird. There’s something about Riverdale… it’s a comic book. They’re so materialized, and we want it to be consistent and to always be the same kind of look. That’s why, on Halloween, we saw so many people dress up as our characters, because it’s such a specific look — with the hair and the clothes and the makeup — that people know exactly what to do. We can’t really branch out into each other’s zones. I’m never going to wear red lipstick because that’s Cheryl’s thing. I’m never gonna have a ponytail because that’s Betty’s thing.
